the Guardian Reviews 592

I was very happy with reading the guardian. It has excellent journalism. However, its subscription department leaves a little to be designed. I pay annually, and somehow my login was not working for months. They reinstated my login, but failed to give me the months that they could see my login had not been working for which was at least half a year. So I felt ripped off. Considering I give guardian readership subs for many years, even when I wasn't reading hyper disappointed.

A biased and racist piece of trash, that is a waste of paper and ink, while not being worth anyone's money. Speaking from experience as an autistic person, it is a contributing factor as to why your children are likely to commit suicide, like in the suicide spikes of 2016. They only pretend to care about disabled people, while attacking them for their race, gender or sexual orientation.

Terrible…no shocking journalism. Investigative and informed? I don’t think so!

It’s “Climate change” in every weather event article. That is enough right there. Total crap this newsganda is.

I am noticing a pattern here with most of the reviews. As readers mature they realise how biased and left leaning the Guardian is.
The Guardian may be in-dependant from a funding perspective. That comment is misleading in itself as it mostly publishes left leaning ideology. And would like you to think that being independent is non biased.
The sad reality is that young and old lefties ( mostly young ) take these articles as the gospel, and then run with it spreading misinformation. Sadly only some grow up and realise how much misinformation and disinformation they have consumed through biased media like The Guardian and main stream media.
Being centrist or right wing is not evil but it is sure made out to be by these types of media outlets.
I mean who in their right mind doesn’t want peace and love in the world. And everyone to be treated equally.
Remember this quote “ There may be exceptions to the rules in life but you shouldn’t make rules for the exceptions”
Otherwise the majority has to change or suffer for the small minority, and that is wrong.

They obviously hold all my data to the point the can inform me I've read 18 of there articles in the last year. They then used that to justify asking for £144 a year.

Included a major direct misquote in an article. I would not have known if I didn’t watch the interview myself. This is not a reliable source of information and sadly makes me question previous content I have read in the past from this source. More effort should be made on persevering the accuracy of published information.

Look how low the gutter Guardian has now stooped. Making up allegations of bullying against Badenoch. What a disgrace to our country. I would not use the Guardian to pick up my dog’s faeces. Shame on you.

Bias reporting, articles tend to have running themes and agendas around what they report and how it’s reported, very disappointing

Once upon a time the Guardian was a great paper. Had it shipped, on thin smooth paper all the way to Australia. But now, it's mainstream news, not to be trusted in its wordings (always to make Russia look bad and offensive) and so obviously beholden to the US security state with no accountability to anyone, a mockery of democracy, in the service of one who believes they have the right to commandeer everyone else (NATO) as they wish. But isn't that construct crumbling, severely crumbling, yet escapes journalistic scrutiny? Little one hears about BRICS, little on China, other than that they are reportedly guilty of "over-capacity" in EVs. Why not report under-capacity on the part of the US. Why not report lack of competitiveness?
What The Guardian now delights in is what borders on pornography, obsession with sex and this kind of low-level sundry stuff. Truly pathetic.

Double standards propaganda tool…. I wish I could add a photo with only few of their racist and clearly double standard articles it is truly disgusting

I've been reading the Graun for 30+ years. It used to be the main centre-left UK newspaper, and something of a voice of reason among the rabid tabloid press, but in recent years has followed an eccentric orbit that has taken it into the realm of sub student union politics.

Sure there are some excellent journalists still remaining- Marina Hyde and John Crace spring immediately to mind- but there are far more purveyors of asinine dross- like Owen Jones and Arwa Mahdawi, tedious wordsmiths who wouldn't have been given column space in the past.

I can only assume that the Graun is feeling the pinch- like most traditional media- and that these hacks must work for next to nothing. They're certainly not there because of their ability.

The news and sports coverage is still pretty good, but the opinion pieces are frankly laughable.

I remain politically on the left, but not in a space I share with the Graun any more.

Worst newspaper in existence. They lie about the vast majority of issues and only provide one biased point of view (which can only be described as propaganda). Sad to see in this day and age.

Posh Tory Rory is exactly what it says on the tin. If he had a tin. His nearly 10 years as a Tory politician was more than enough to enable this execrable farce of a government to bring about the destruction of our country and society.
Spare us your crocodile tears Rory. The Tory party has just completed its mission to destroy us the ordinary people and it was misguided people like you who set it up. Once a Tory always a Tory, Rory.

I recently read Tim Byrne's review of Sunset Boulevard in the Australian edition of The Guardian. And I was absolutely appalled by the way he wrote about Sarah Brightman's performance as Norma Desmond. He writes, "she seems to suck in lungfuls of air like a guppy, only to release a breathy, stretched and haltingly phrased series of notes that barely travel over the orchestra pit". This description is needlessly harsh and really insensitive considering that Sarah is battling Motor Neuron Disease. This performance of Sunset Boulevard is actually Sarah Brightman's first time singing in 30 years. And given that she was diagnosed with MND early last year, there's a possibility that this return to the stage was meant to be a farewell before her condition took away her ability to walk and talk. Tim Byrne has always been a malicious troll, but having a go at someone battling a serious disability is going too far. Someone at The Guardian needs to tell Tim to stop being a jerk and start treating artists with respect.

It is so frustrating. The Guardian has the occasional article which hits the nail right on the head, perceptive, ethical, moral and cultural. At other times it will argue about the colour of a Conservative MP's tie just for the sake of getting a swing at the Tory Party. Its reputation would rise in leaps and bounds if it could only be more balanced, but until then, the Guardian will continue to be derided as 'Left-Wing rubbish' .

If you enjoy agenda driven news look no further than the Guardian. They are not so independent and unbiased as they claim to be.

Read article in The Guardian relating to an immigrant cyclist not wanting to go to the Bobby Stockholm. They have written a misleading article and have had it promoted in the BBC news which cannot be discussed on The Guardians website.

The article relates to an immigrant who has no income, has won some cycle races in the past, but is not a professional cyclist (as the BBC reporting subsequently said) and has no means to support themselves. This case is one of someone who has chosen to leave their own country and seek asylum for no specified reason other than they didn’t like it. The article claims that the generosity of the UK to house them at tax payers expense is not adequate and that they deserve more.

There is no rational argument for them to have special treatment, they have chosen the path that they are on and if they were able to earn a living as a professional then they would not be in this situation. The Guardian and the BBC are misrepresenting our duties and the rights of a refugee to preferential treatment which is effectively positioned as a political discussion. This is neither accurate in fact, nor is it morally right, the person is in a situation that is not pleasant and I am sure they would not choose it if they had a good life, but that does not qualify them for special treatment that is not available to others.

Guardian is continuously failing to report on continuing Israeli genocide in Gaza and West bank. There are mass graves with hundreds of civilians found in hospitals in Gaza and other atrocities like 2 children being burned alive only yesterday in West bank by Israeli settlers. Guardian describes genocide in Rafah and bombing civilian who were 5 times displaced in tents as "Israel fighting Hamas in Jabalia camp" once again. Even the reality is that toddlers are being blown up to pieces and newborn children are being shot in the head which I have seen with my own eyes in video footage as soon as I woke up. Guardian is also failing to report about torture camps in Israel with grown men being ziptied to beds, amputated limbs and kept in nappies, electrocuted and tortured on daily basis until their death. One of them was a surgeon from Gaza as well. All of this is documented and has wide available proof on other media outlets, even Western ones.

I read The Guardian everyday. Based in the UK but covers stories in North American you won't see elsewhere. Spends money on real journalism rather than just pulling news off the wires or spreading celebrity gossip.
